In Estonia, October and November weather is very unpredictable. In a meteorological sense, this time of the year constitutes a transitional period between autumn and winter and is called late autumn. During this period, weather can be characteristic of both autumn and winter.

The long-term (30 years) average 24-hour air temperature for October in Estonia is 6.3°C; the day-time maximum has reached 22.4°C, while the night-time minimum is -17.0°C. Typically, we have around 10°C during day-time, in some places up to 15°C, whereas at night, the air temperature is between 0 and +5°C. During clear nights, sub-zero temperatures can also be expected. The average precipitation is 69 mm; the 24-hour maximum has reached 48.3 mm. Most of the precipitation comes down as rainfall, but the first snow – which often melts by the end of the same day – cannot be ruled out either. Read more
